In order to provide the best educational opportunities possible for children of the Montgomery County public schools, the Montgomery County School Board may seek as many sources of revenue as possible to supplement the funds provided through local appropriation and the basic aid offered by the state.
All competitive grant proposals will be brought to the Montgomery County School Board for approval prior to submission or as soon thereafter as feasible. Based upon the amount of the grant requested for a single project, two levels of School Board approval apply to competitive grants.
Proposals requesting $10,000 or less in grant funding for a single project will require prior approval by the grant-seeker’s principal or supervisor and the Assistant Superintendent for Learning and Teaching. Such projects will be submitted to the School Board for approval as soon as feasible, but always before acceptance, under the Consent Agenda.
Proposals requesting more than $10,000 in grant funding for a single project will require the prior approval of the grant-seeker’s principal or supervisor and the Assistant Superintendent for Learning and Teaching, as well as formal approval prior to submission or as soon thereafter as feasible by the School Board, as a part of the Superintendent’s Items.
All grants sought by Montgomery County Public Schools will support projects that are aligned with the district’s mission, vision and goals. Projects that deviate from these goals will require specific prior approval of the superintendent or his or her designee.
